Inon Barnatan with Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Schumann, and more

Founded in 1914, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) has thrived despite challenges, with highlights like the first radio symphonic concert in 1922. Under directors like Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Paul Paray, and Leonard Slatkin, the DSO gained international acclaim and won several awards. It overcame financial woes and now thrives at the restored Orchestra Hall. Notable collaborations include Chandos, Mercury, and Naxos labels. Jader Bignamini became music director in 2020, continuing DSO’s legacy of excellence.

Israeli-born pianist Inon Barnatan, based in NYC, is known for Schubert, Beethoven, and contemporary works. He often collaborates with cellist Alisa Weilerstein and won the Avery Fisher Career Grant.
